More About the Author

C. Craig R. McNeil was brought up on a farm just outside Stranraer. He moved to Edinburgh in 1996 where he wrote his first (unreleased) short stories.

His first major book, An Atlantean Triumvirate, was followed by Ghosts of the Past and The Centre Cannot Hold. It was followed by Terra Inferus series of novellas which continued the adventures started in the Atlantean Triumvirate trilogy. I am Stefan Stahl is the latest novella in the same world.

He now lives in Dunfermline, Scotland and writes books, bringing his alternative fantasy to an ever growing audience.

If you're expecting Dostoevsky you're going to be disappointed. This is a Ripping Yarn in the purest sense of the word, and what it lacks in depth and (according to some reviewers, who I don't entirely agree with) character development, it more than makes up for in action packed Boys Own adventure.

I have purchased all of the triumvirate books, have read them end to end, and have not regretted a bit of it.

Is it a perfect Tolkien moment? No. But if you're a fan of rip-roaring gunslinging alternate timeline adventure, it's a damn good light-hearted holiday read.

This review is from: An Atlantean Triumvirate (Kindle Edition)An excellent debut from a young author, full of originality, action pace and plot.I highly recommend this to readers of alternate history, war novels and those who enjoy discovering new talented writers.As with any self published work, there are a few spelling errors etc, but it does not damage the enjoyment, and really should not put anyone off a debut novel of such depth.A bargain at this kindle price.

Highly enjoyable start to an excellent series that doesn't so much fly the Union Jack as have it tattooed onto it's jingoistic forehead.

Good heavy action, with a pretty female boffin, a spook, and an action hero as the three main leads all doing their part for the British Empire. Lots of Atlantean Technology, flying battleships and unsporting Johnny Foreigners of various types thrown into the mix.

Sit back, rest the Kindle on your knee and enjoy a damn good read. Its a Boys Own adventure story for adults and it has just about every technological gadget you can imagine. Fast paced , clever and very, very pleasing and there are two books to go! What more do you need?

A great read that I would recommend. To think though, Germany wasn't a credible threat to Britain in 1936and it was nearly a decade before they had jets but, it's still interesting to mix Atlantis into this.

Will be interesting to see how this pans out. In terms of the USA, it's interesting they attacking the UK in this book (spoiler) when they had drawn up plans to invade Britain in the '30's.

As per the title, I'm glad I picked this up for free. The plot sounded quite promising but although the author was trying to write in a "Boys Own" adventure style it just came across as a teenage boys English homework. Flat, undeveloped, characters and seriously in need of editing properly. I managed to get about half way through this book before I gave up.
